  Note:
    To use Field_bit::cmp_binary() you need to copy the bits stored in
    the beginning of the record (the NULL bytes) to each memory you
    want to compare (where the arguments point).

    This is the reason:
    - Field_bit::cmp_binary() is only implemented in the base class
      (Field::cmp_binary()).
    - Field::cmp_binary() currenly use pack_length() to calculate how
      long the data is.
    - pack_length() includes size of the bits stored in the NULL bytes
      of the record.
